Foundation Program
Power sector is one among the most critical infrastructures which is crucial for the sustained
economic growth and welfare of a nation. The Ministry of Power has made significant efforts over
the past few years to turn India into a power-surplus country from a power-deficient one, by
establishing a single national grid, fortifying the distribution network, and achieving universal
household electrification. Huge investment has been made by the Ministry over the years through
multiple schemes and initiatives. One such initiative taken up by the Ministry is to create a pool of
skilled power professionals.
In this line, Foundation Program, a three-week course, has been designed to train the power sector
professionals so that they have interdisciplinary understanding of Planning, Functioning & Operation
of Generation, Transmission & Distribution System, Renewable Energy, Energy Transition, Carbon
Neutrality etc. This course is being conducted through classroom mode with active learning manner
along with industry-based examples of different technologies including case studies used in the
power industry to have a 360-degree view of the entire power sector. It is one of a kind training
program that not only covers the entire spectrum of power sector but also incorporates in its
curriculum, activities like Yoga, sports, cultural etc. for a holistic personality development of
individuals. Through Hands-on-Practice, professionals would be now confident to operate the plant,
process & system in real time.

with this aim and the Government of India’s commitment for providing 24x7 uninterrupted, quality,
reliable and affordable power supply, the Revamped Reforms-based and Results-linked Distribution
Sector Scheme (RDSS) has been formulated by the Ministry of Power for supporting DISCOMs to
undertake reforms and improve performance in a time bound manner. The Revamped Reforms-
based and Results-linked Distribution Sector Scheme seeks to improve the operational efficiencies
and financial sustainability, by providing financial assistance to DISCOMs for strengthening the
supply infrastructure based on meeting pre-qualifying criteria and achieving basic minimum
benchmarks in reforms. NPTI has identified five training programs under the scheme covering
Smart Metering, AMI, SCADA, etc. One part of the training focuses on the following: up-gradation
of human skills; process improvements; augmentation of Smart distribution infrastructure including
Smart Meter & SCADA System, Training & capacity building for personnel involved in execution of
the Scheme at field level, awards and recognitions etc. Training & capacity building on technical
matters, advanced technology intervention areas, new business processes, etc. The training programs

Mission SAMARTH
In order to address the issue of air pollution due to farm stubble burning and to reduce carbon
footprints from thermal power generation, the Ministry of Power has decided to set up a National
Mission on use of Biomass in coal based thermal power plants. This would further support the
energy transition in the country and our targets to move towards cleaner energy sources. The
Mission is taking steps for development of the biomass supply chain, sensitizing stakeholders and
encouraging budding entrepreneurs.
NPTI has conducted 29 training programs for Farmers, Pellet manufacturers and Thermal Power
Plant Officials from October-2021 to October-2022 and trained 3,180 personnel under National
Mission on use of Biomass in Thermal Power Plants (SAMARTH).
Cyber Security
Cyber intrusion attempts and cyber-attacks in any critical sector are carried out with a malicious
intent. In Power Sector, it’s either to compromise the Power Supply System or to render the grid
operation insecure. Any compromise may result in mal-operations of equipment, equipment damages
or even in a cascading grid brownout/blackout.
As per Article-8 of the CEA (Cyber Security in Power Sector) Guidelines, 2021, National Power
Training Institute (NPTI) in consultation with CEA has identified and designed domain specific
courses on Cyber Security for different target groups in Power Industry. NPTI is organizing classroom
training programs along with Hands-On Training programs for personnel having authorized cyber or
physical access (unescorted or escorted) to their critical systems.

participants attend after their induction level training. It marks a key inflection point when an IAS
officer makes a transition from field administration to higher level responsibilities as the Head of
Department at the State level, and Deputy Secretary / Director in the Government of India with the
mandate to ensure qualitative improvement in delivery of services in the larger context.

Security, Specialized Course on Cyber Security, SCADA & Substation Automation, and Regulatory
Issues in Power Sector on the LMS which later on will have more courses on newer technologies in
the Power Sector.
National SCADA Resource Centre (NSRC)
The Ministry of Power (MoP) launched, Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) in July 2021.Apart from
its twin objectives related to distribution infrastructure and institutional capacity building for
DISCOMS, the scheme also envisages the establishment of SCADA/DMS in 100 towns and basic SCADA
in 3,875 towns. Accordingly, a state-of-the-art National SCADA Resource Centre (N.S.R.C) is being
established at NPTI in association with Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFC) to provide hands-
on training on vendor-neutral platforms on upcoming distribution SCADA in various DISCOMS across
India. NSRC will do the handholding of DISCOMS for the adoption of new technologies and it will also
